Snopes fact-checker and journalist Bethania Palma has written and shared articles attempting to associate Donald Trump with the Ku Klux Klan, defended notoriously racist college professor Saida Grundy, and complained, “The fact so many people are babbling about ‘anti-white’ racism is testament to the complete breakdown and failure of education.”

Yet despite her clear political biases, Palma could soon be instrumental in helping Snopes determine which news outlets should be considered “fake news” or not on Facebook in their new partnership with the social network.

“The fact so many people are babbling about ‘anti-white’ racism is testament to the complete breakdown and failure of education,” posted Palma on Twitter last year, along with the hashtag “#SaidaGrundy”, in reference to controversial college professor Saida Grundy.

“Racism is a structural system of oppression. It can be seen in statistics, not in tweets that make you squirmy,” continued Palma, referencing popular left-wing talking points on the subject to defend Grundy. “Racism is a caste system – what is done to groups as groups in a society. It is not white guys who are butt mad about Twitters.”

As a journalist, she has frequently written for outlets such as Raw Story and has penned articles attempting to conflate Donald Trump to racism, delve into the “science of white privilege,” and attack or criticize various conservative politicians.
